* Women’s Times: Times do NOT factor 10 minute 21 second wait time for passing cruise ship.

** (1) 2 canoes failed to line up at the start at the designated start time of 2:30PM. The start times are crucial in timing with the schedule of the Staten Island Ferry. The times of the 2 teams will not be adjusted. (2) The time does NOT take into account a pause of 6 minutes and 11 seconds at the Battery due to ferry traffic. (3) The time does NOT take into account a pause of 6 minutes and 35 seconds at Ellis Island.

Competition Sponsors

New York Outrigger would like to thank all of our sponsors for making Liberty 2008 possible.

Mahalo and Many Many thanks to everyone connected to NY Outrigger for hosting such a grand event!!
Your 12th year was my first ‘Liberty’
(with Nantucket Island Outrigger) We’ll definitely be back with more folks, canoes and attitude next year! Hope to see some of you out at Blackburn Challenge in July off Mass.’s North Shore (Cape Ann)
Too much fun and I hope the Luau venue stays at pier 66a, awesome spot!
Peace,
Paul

Thanks to all the organisers and other competitors from Liberty 2008 from the 2 UK teams who travelled across the waters to take part. We had a brilliant trip, loved New York and enjoyed the racing. Well – my crew did till we had the huli! Yup – I’m from the embarassed crew who DNF, but have vowed to come back next year to complete the course!
Thanks guys – it was great.
